Hyperloop Drag Simulation (No Compressor) in OpenFOAM All code can be found at: https://github.com/lordvon/OpenFOAM_Tutorials/tree/master/Hyperloop0 DESCRIPTION: Here we will perform a simple 2D axisymmetric simulation of a transonic Hyperloop vehicle. Notice that the real Hyperloop (as described in the technical paper available on the SpaceX website) has a compressor at the front of the vehicle to power the air skis and reduce drag. This is not captured here, but could be modeled by a pressure jump actuator disk. OUTLINE: -Create wedge mesh in Gmsh. -Convert the mesh and change the boundary file. -Change the write format in system/controlDict to 'binary' to prevent errors. -Run the simulation and view post-processed results. COMMANDS: gmsh mesh/main.geo -3 -o test.msh gmshToFoam test.msh -case case # Modify boundary file rhoCentralFoam This tutorial was run successfully on: -Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit -OpenFOAM 2.3.1 -Gmsh 2.9.3
